Interestingly, if this wild rideable Lego wheelchair is any indication, he's left the next level and is now firmly in the distant future.Made with 12 Lego NXT motors and 12 multi-directional wheels, this carefully designed prototype can carry around a 198 pound person and is controlled via a small joystick. It can move in multiple directions and even roll side to side to "strafe" through a room.
